Servicing ...
The service schedule covers most things you'd expect (oil changes for
transfer box,gearbox, engine, diffs), lubrication and coolant changes.
What about breather pipes and that plethora of plastic pipes that lead to
the funny charcoal emissions filter - is their any recommended cleaning /
replacement on that ?

I wipe out the intake pipe every time the filter gets changed.
As for the plastic plumbing, depends. If you bend it and it cracks then
replace it.
The thing to watch is your radiator and heater hoses. If they start bulging
out ( ) then it is time to replace them.

Tell me about it. :(
The ZJ doesn't get that bad under the hood(bonnet) but it takes
for ever to unpack the front and rear bumpers. I just turn on the
small sprinker and pull it under the jeep.

Canister servicing WAS: Servicing ...
Glad you brought that up. I've got two canisters (a `78 and a `79) on the
parts heap in my garage right now, but I'll be danged if I can see a way
to take either of them apart. Mine flair towards the bottom. The bottom
is an open grid with a sheet sponge piece above the grid. The bottom edge
of the wall has a pop rivet. The seam appears to be glued.

They don't come apart.
The old filter needs to be dug out and the new one stuffed in.
The first one is a bear to dig out, I needed a hammer and chisel on mine
and a small screw driver to get the last of it. After that they change
easy.
